'Insights from the zeitgeist are preserved with conviction and clarity, offering an inclusive way to access contemporary art in all its forms. If Talk Art is the fun podcast, then this book is the educational supplement to be prescribed alongside it.' - Aesthetica

'Where the collection really takes off is the interviews with younger artists, which are sensitive,

unpatronising, genuinely questioning and fundamentally challenging....

Indeed, this collection's strength ultimately lies in the fact that it reveals nothing more than a battlefield in its quest to establish what contemporary art is all about.' - ArtReview

The authors of the Sunday Times bestseller Talk Art: Everything you wanted to know about contemporary art but were afraid to ask, have brought together 24 of the most profound, moving, funny and informative interviews from the wildly popular Talk Art podcast.

These curated excerpts explore the inspirations, art experiences and favourite artists of a fascinating range of creative people from Grayson Perry to Elton John, from Tracey Emin to Paul Smith, and from Wolfgang Tillmans to Sonia Boyce, accompanied by images of the artworks that they have created or that have influenced them.

The interviews featured include:

- Jerry Saltz

- Laurie Anderson

- Stephen Fry

- Elton John

- Tracey Emin

- Paul Smith

- Sonia Boyce

- Chila Burman

- Rachel Whiteread

- Wolfgang Tillmans

- Pierce Brosnan

- Grayson Perry
